NAFEMS, The International Association for the Engineering Analysis Community, has confirmed an exciting agenda for its 2008 UK Conference, to be held in Cheltenham on June 10th-11th 2008.

NAFEMS is an independent not-for-profit body with the sole aim of promoting the effective use of engineering simulation methods such as finite element analysis, multibody system dynamics and computational fluid dynamics.

The two-day UK Conference aims to increase awareness and provide a discussion forum for topics that are important and relevant to engineering industrialists and academics. With this in mind, an outstanding agenda has been announced which will enable all who attend to gain an invaluable insight into the current "hot topics" and best practices in the simulation world. Presentations from major international organisations such as Jaguar Land Rover, Corus, AMEC and Alstom will ensure that delegates can see at first hand how simluation is being used at the highest level of industry.

If you are an analyst, engineer, team leader or manager that has a responsibility for ensuring that a fit-for-purpose engineering solution is obtained from the use of modern simulation software, then you should attend.

The event is open to both members and non-members of NAFEMS, with members able to attend the event for free, as part of their membership benefits package.

The principal sponsor of the Conference is Icon CFD. Further sponsorship comes from Altair Engineering, Simulia, DEM Solutions and ITI Transcendata, and the conference is also supported by IMechE, IOP, BSSM and FAM.

Following on from the success of the previous event, held in 2006, the NAFEMS UK Conference 2008 will be the country’s premier conference on Simulation Technology for the Engineering Analysis Community, bringing together leading industrial practitioners, consultancies, academic researchers and software developers with a common interest in engineering analysis. The conference aims to increase awareness and provide a discussion forum for topics that are important and relevant to engineering industrialists and academics.

Agenda

A full agenda for the Conference is now available from the NAFEMS website, www.nafems.org . Highlights include cutting-edge presentations from Jaguar Land Rover, AMEC Nuclear, Corus Research and Lloyd's Register.

Sponsorship & Exhibition Opportunities

The UK Conference 2008 provides an excellent opportunity for promotional and product / project awareness, and direct access to technology leaders. A number of exhibition spaces will be available for vendors of software, hardware and associated services to demonstrate their wares and meet with delegates.

Sponsorship packages are also available. Please visit the conference webpages to enquire further about these opportunities.

Registration is now open at www.nafems.org
